BY" WHITNEY.
Texas Siftings.


A very important event occurred not
long since in the family of the secretary OF
the navy. 1t is girl. "Baby" Whitney,
as the new arrival is called in Washington,
is described as having a round, full face, a
rose brunette complexion and prOfusiOn
OF silky brown HAIR.
The happy father who is one Of the
presidents most intimate chums, called at
the White house a few days ago. Grover
was in his cozy little private Office and
alone.
'Ah. Whitney, he exclaimed, ''glad to
see you, old boy. So you have had crisis
at your house?"
Crisis! 1 should say it is cry sis. 1t
yells all the time. If it was twins I'd have
them baptized Cherubim and Seraphim. be-
cause they continually do cry" replied
Whitney, who is very witty.
$50 it cries. does it?" queried Grover.
Cries! A baby is not very big. but it is
one OF the crying evils of society. It's a
| growing evil, too. What a pity it is that
Edison or some other inventor can't invent
some electric arrangement by which the
midnight Shrek of the baby will be carried
out on the roof to scare off the cats. A man
nigh. as well try to squelch an Irishman's
love for his country as to veto that baby's
mouth. Grover, you can't have any idea Of
how that child shrieks."
I've read in book that / purchased re-
GENTLY" said Mr.. Cleveland, that if a
| child cries you should warm its feet"
Warm its feet! If start into warming,
I'll not cOnfine myself to warming its
feet"
Don't talk that way about the poor
little creature. 1t looks red in the face, as
a ritaly 1nr,f yn6
the president.
1T looked red at first. but as intimated.
1t is now little yeller."
The president smiled pensvely.
And what's worse" continued Mr..
Whitney, lis the fact, so Pm told. that it
don't cry real hard until it begins to hatch
teeth. If that's so, I'm going to travel for
my health"
ITS a nice baby, suppose" observed
the president.
Everybody says so. Now. if it was a
boy, it might be worth bringing up''
You have not told Mrs. Whitney so,
have you?"
"Oh, no.
Il thought not By the way, 1 was
reading the other day that baby should
not be allowed to sleep with its mother.
That's what prominent physician says"
II ne means that 1t should sleep with
its father. I'd like to have the scoundrel in
| some secluded dell for a few minutes. 1
guess he'd sleep with his fathers pretty
quick. You notice that l limp. don't
you?"
''Yes: what's the matter?"
"Oh, nothing; only hunting for the pare
gorc bottle in the dark; that's all. Why
don't Edison invent a luminous paregoric
bottle that you can find in the dark? These
scientists are such superficial crowd, any
how. Well. must be going. Come over
and inspect the cry sis.''
''Thank you, Whitney. I'll come over
as soon as the swelling in my toe subsidies.
Are you going to the ball at the English
minister's tonight"
AS Whitney went out he cast plying
glance at the president and CALCULATED:
Ball! Eve got all the bawl L need right
at home"

A lady was sitting in herdic next the
box for fares, when gentleman got in and
took a seat opposite. In selecting a piece
of money to pay his fare, he took hand
full of silver from his pocket and laid it on
the seat beside him while he picked out a
nickel. Then the lady noticed that he had
but one arm. Her tender heart was all
sympathy instantly. and she pictured to
herself that gallant man on the field of bat
tie, giving his arm in defense of his coun-
try. Poor fellow" thought she, 81 will
put his fare in for him, for he would not
be able to balance himself in
case of one of the innumerable
lurches Of the coach occasioned by
the ruts which the commissioners seem too
poor to fill up. Gentlemen are always
polite about such things, and surely this is
case where lady may exercise her
politeness without seeming to be forward -
So, suting the action to the thought, she
extended her hand for nickel. The gell-
| tleman dropped the same into her extended
palm; and with deXterity that would have
done credit to man with half dozen
arms managed to squeeze her hand at the
same time.
And now that lady declares that hence.
forth and forever. as far as she. is con-
cerned. every son of Adam may deposit his
own fare, even if he has no arms and has
to pass it up with his teeth.

Cases have of late been frequently re-
ported in the newspapers in which. despite
medical evidence to the contrary, bodies
have been kept from burial because they
did not become cold. Faith-healers and
miracle-workers have been called in on such
occasions to resuscitate the supposed victim
of suspended animation, and INDUCED in
diatribes at being called in too late. It is
not generally known that there is, as a
rule, an elevation of temperature immedi-
ately after death, owing to the blood no
longer being cooled in its passage through
the lungs. and to the stoppage of the circu-
lation, and in many cases where the nery-
GUS system has been affected, and in chol-
era, smallpox. yellow fever and hepatic
abscess. The post-mortem rise in tempera-
ture is often very decided. The heat of an
apparently dead body is hence not conclu-
sve evidence OF life.

Impressive and athletic Arguments

lar The RaiMey Divorce Case.
Before Judge Rea and large audience
yesterday the arguments in the somewhat
noted Rainey divorce suit were made and
the case submitted Mrs Rainey. accom-
panied by her father. mother. sister and
aunt, was there, and occasionally attracted
the attention of the audience by wiping her
eyes with dainty lace handkerchief. Mr..
Rainey was not present, and many cOmpli-
mentS on his good taste were heard. Mr..
PEBBLES, Mr.. Rainey'S attorney, opened the
argument. He reviewed the troubles of
the unhappy couple, and showed that the
acts of cruelty of which Mrs. Rainey COM
planned were senseless in the extreme. In
his opinion the only semblance of cruel
treatment on the part of DR.. Rainey was
when he took the baby away from the
house, and this he had done on the impulse
of the moment.
The argument made by Mr.. KoOn. Irs.
Rainey'S attorney, was long one, and
showed up the foolishneSS of both husband
and wife i'll clear, cold manner. Mrs.
koon said that cruelty did not always con-
sist OF violence. 1t might be in looks. in
actions in thousand ways He said that
this was not the first time DR. Rainey had
been mixed up III divorce case. In Mich
igan he was sued for divorce on the ground
of cruel and inhuman treatment. MI koon
did not, he said. understand how Mrs.
Rainey could ever have married DR.. Rainey.
In continuing he said that DR.. Rainey had
made reflections ON the character of Mrs.
Rainey and had done this even when she
was in delicate condition. The fact of
the doctors taking the child away was char
acterized by the lawyer as a most inhuman
act and one calculated to cause the mother
untold Anguish. During the argument Mr..
Rainey sought consolation from her mother
and sister. and would occasionally squeeze
out little tear. The decision will prob
ably not be filed until next week.

reported in favor of accepting tine bid Of
Horace E. Horton, of Rochester. MIMI, for
S76, 900, for constructing the superstructure
of the new steel-arch bridge, provided that
the shop work be done at the works of the
Keystone Bridge company, of Plttsburg,
Pa. Aid. Morse wanted to know why the
work was recommended to be done at the
works of the Keystone Bridge company.
City Engineer Rinker answered that it was
because the plans of the company. in con-
junction with those of MI. Horton, had
been found to be the best, and besides, if
the bridge was built after these plans it
would take much less iron than if built
under any other plans. The report was
unanimously adopted.

All the members of the city council were
present at the meeting last evening with
the exception of Mayor Ames. The COM
mittee on police recommended that fifty
new police signal boxes be placed in differ
ent portions of the city, and that fifty new
Gibson alarm boxes be given a fair trial
and purchased if found satisfactory. A
motion to recommit was made by Aid.
Clark. Aid. johnson did not think it a
good plan to onler too many Gibson alarm
boxes now, as they were really an expert
ment yet. In view of the new police COM
mission coming into power in few days.
he said that he was in favor of letting the
matter remain over until the commission
could get into order. He also mentioned
that Mr. Gibson, the inventor of the boxes,
was member of the council, and urged
that as reason why the matter should be
laid over Aid. Gibson said few words
i'm his own behalf, in which he
held that his company was a benefactOr
to the city, as it would take it out of
the hands of the Police Alarm Box COM
nany. of Chicago, which had been charging
heavy rates for boxes. The motion to
recommit was carried, all but three voting
TO do so. The report of the commissioners
in the matter of laying out and opening
certain streets was adopted. The follow
Ing streets were passed on: Extending
East Twenty-seventh street, from Park
avenue to Twelfth avenue south; extend
Twelfth avenue south, from Twenty sixth
street to Twenty-ninth street; extending
East Twenty-siXth street, from Chicago
ovenue to Fort avenue. The clerk read the
majority and minority reports on the petit
ton of Randolph Burgess and others for the
right to construct street railway line on
Twenty-third street, from Lake Calhoun tc

moved to recommit and that it be
reported at the next regular meeting.
